Abstract

The Plantation Sector plays a vital role in India’s economy. It is a significant contributor not only to the national income as a source of export earnings but also as a contributor towards the employment of millions of people (2 million in India). Despite several decades of progress of the plantation industry in India, plantation workers have remained less developed and isolated. The presence of a good Quality of Work Life leads to numerous positive outcomes. Quality of work life can be defined as the environment at the work place provided to the people on the job. Through QWL programs, employers discharge their responsibility of providing a congenial environment where people can perform excellent work. There are many studies on QWL in the organized sector but not much in the unorganized sector especially in the plantation sector. This sector is labour intensive and hence the productivity depends on the work force. The aim of this study is to determine the factors which influence the Quality of Work Life in the Coffee plantations of Karnataka. The coffee growing districts of Kodagu, Chickmagalur and Hassan were considered for the study. The factors chosen represented a hybrid model for assessing QWL in the Coffee Plantation based on existing models in the literature. The data analysis using Cronbach’s alpha indicated that the model adopted was valid and reliable.
